So I'm 20f, she's 42f.

Recently I've been noticing a pattern in her behaviour/mentality. Whenever we talk about crime against women, shed somehow say men are the victims. How nowadays women are hyper independent, they don't want family or kids,, all they think about is themselves. And some more patriarchal shit.

Just today, she was "criticizing" a fucking protest against 🍇 saying they could've done peaceful protest. But since they're creating a fiasco,, police are right to detain them. Also, she said "not all men" and generalizing men is so wrong. And then she proceeded to generalise women.

I'm fucking enraged. I had to get out of the room so I don't say anything. Can't wait to leave the shitty house and cut ties ngl.

I'm pretty sure she'll support women's rights being taken away.

And a few minor stuff:

As a kid when I used to get back home, I was supposed to feed myself. I was treated like garbage (still am) but now my mother expects me to cook for my brother before he returns from school. Was he not tired?? Or am I a fucking superhuman???

Edit: she also said men are being oppressed. 🤡🤡🤡 Oh boy I wanna $tr@ngle myself (not literally) after hearing these stuff today.

Someone in another subreddit asked a nice “What’s something you like about the opposite gender?”. I thought that was a nice question so I really thought about it… and I couldn’t come up with anything. I don’t hate men. I certainly don’t hate individual men. But I could not think of a single thing about them as a group that I like which women don’t do at least as much if not better.

The best I could come up with is that I like how they have little pockets of whimsy, like fun patterns inside their suit jackets, and hotdogs on their dress socks. That’s what I went for in the end, but even then I thought, well women are more explicitly whimsical and colorful and I like that better.

I was just a bit taken aback by how difficult I found the question. I could rattle off what I like about women for several minutes without even thinking about it.

I’ll just start with this isn't meant to be taken as like... a super serious topic. Don't come into this expecting an academic essay. Just a little personal observation of mine that made me feel a little sad.

I feel like soooo many feminist spaces have been getting more and more and more filled with doomer behavior recently, where there's a lot of unproductive anger and bitterness, and a loss of hope for what kind of positive feminist changes we can expect to bring about as far as broader society and also interpersonally. Of course, I know that this doesn't come from nowhere. I feel like I don't have to mention any particular event specifically - we all know it's been tough recently. But I don't think it necessarily has to be this way?

I also spend time in more general queer spaces and, at least in my experience, despite everyone in those spaces still identifying as feminist, such spaces seem to avoid the kind of doom and gloom that comes with feminist-focused spaces directly. These spaces seem to (again, in my experience) be better at channeling their anger into action/support, rather than into a sense of bitter hopelessness. If anyone else has the same experience, I'd love to hear your thoughts as to why this might be the case.

Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass. Let me know lol.
